After a meeting during the
past weekend between the promoters and participating teams in the 1999 Top Fuel Tour, it
was decided that the Tour should continue into the year 2000. Everyone at the meeting
agreed that the Top Fuel Tour has been a real success so far, although there is room for
improvement in some areas.
The Top Fuel Tour 2000 will continue in about the same manner as this season's Tour, and
should be regarded as complementary to the FIA series.
TFT 2000 will give its participants the chance to race on home ground, and will give
Scandinavian fans the opportunity to see more good, tight Top Fuel racing.
The race calendar will be planned in parallel with the planning of the FIA series and
other big drag racing events in Europe, to find the best possible schedule for the teams
and fans.
It's too early to tell which will be the teams to challenge Peter Lantz, the winner of the
1999 Top Fuel Tour. Top Fuel Tour 2000

1999 Top Fuel Tour Champion Peter Lantz to race at
the European Finals

I'm pleased to be able to confirm that we will run at the European Finals at Santa Pod
Raceway in September. I would like to say thanks to Keith Bartlett for making it possible
for us to race at the Finals, and also to our sponsors whose support is helping us to make
this last race.

The team is really looking forward to running at Santa Pod, which always has excellent
traction, and also to running against the other teams in the FIA Championship. We have
raced at the Finals for the last two years: we won in 1997 and were runners-up in 1998
with low 5.0s, so we are hoping that this streak will continue.

Winning the Top Fuel Tour with a hat trick didn't come easy. We won two very close finals
against Monica Oberg, and the racing has been tough at all rounds. The team is working
very well at the moment, and the performance of the car is nowhere near its limit. So we
are looking forward to the event.
